    Solar Panels

  • High efficiency single crystal silicon solar cells. The cells are "antireflected" coated for improved efficiency.
  • The cells are designed to deliver peak current under difficult charging conditions such as hot temperatures or overcast skies, and also provide greater area efficiency.
  • The solar panels are sized for continuous operation.

    Solar Tilt and Rotate--The S.T.A.R. System

  • Operates independently of the direction of the sign panel or trailer. The solar array is capable of rotating 360 degrees and can be locked in any position. Solar panels are located at the highest point of the sign and tilt from 0 to 40 degrees. This feature optimizes free energy from the sun and also allows the solar panel to self clean.

    Gull Wing

  • Enclosure made of polyethylene, high impact, anti-slip texture, rodent proof, rust proof.
  • Allows easy access and is lockable.

    Characters/Visibility

  • The message sign panel is legible from 1,200 feet in day and night conditions. An automatic intensity control system consisting of a photocell adjusts the light source to maintain legibility under all ambient lighting conditions.
  • The message sign panel is capable of presenting 3 lines of message copy, each comprised of 8 characters in various alpha, numeric, and alpha-numeric combinations. Matrix configuration consists of 35 pixels per character in a 5 pixel by 7 pixel format.
  • Character height: a true 18 inches; width: 12.5 inches. Line spacing: 5 inches from adjacent line; Horizontal character separation: 4.25 inches.
  • For the best contrast ratio, display legibility, and environmental protection, sign hardware and character PCB is finished with a UV protected epoxy. In conjunction with the seven degree angle case is our Eclipse System.

    Power System

  • The entire message display system shall operate from solar/battery or utility power of 120VAC.
  • To optimize performance of pure uninterrupted solar operation, ADDCO will adjust the solar/battery arrangement to meet load demands versus weather conditions.
  • At minimum, the solar panel array will be designed to yield 11% more charge (energy) than sign consumption, optimizing life expectancy of the battery bank and minimizing user service for battery charging.
  • On-board system charger will recharge completely discharged sign batteries in 24 hours.

    Batteries

  • Trojan Heavy duty deep cycle 6 volt DC, 225 amp-hour batteries wired to provide 12 volts.
  • Multi Rib Separator technology means: Less negative plate expansion, low water usage and reduced positive shedding. This battery system lasts longer and is more profitable to operate.

    Mounting and Transporting Equipment

  • Tubular steel, powder coat paint, scratch resistant, long lasting.
  • Hitch: 6,000 lb GVWR capacity with 1-7/8 and 2 multi-fit ball coupler.
  • Jacks: Four, 2000 lb. capacity leveling jacks with crank type swivel.
  • Lighting: Complete lighting to standard highway specifications.
  • Axle: Torsion 3,500 Lb. ground clearance 10.25".
  • Brakes: Hydraulic surge or electric
